The King James Bible is the
best Bible for general use, but what do you do with old English words that you
don’t understand?You learn what they mean.A
24-page booklet, King James Bible Companion, by David Daniels, defines over 500
classical English words used in the KJV.

So, if you re “astonied”
(taken by surprise) by a word like “prognosticators,” you can be “careful”
(full of worry) “not a whit” (not the least bit).Reach for the KJV Com­panion, and it will “bewray” (reveal) the
meaning to be: “foretellers of the future.”If you “durst” (dare) to “eschew” (shun) corrupted modern Bible
versions, and “countenance” (face) the “unseemly” (inappropriate) comments from
your friends, this little book will help you “shew” (show) them how easy it is
to “cleave unto” (stick to) the true word of God.Rather than settle for a corrupt, inferior Bible version, you can
use this little book to “assuage” (relieve) the “clamour” (loud complaining) about
the less familiar words in the KJV, and “let” (hinder) the spread of the modern
per-versions (from the March/April 2000 issue of Battle Cry).
